Seminar Laser Technology ABC´s

   

This seminar specifically targets companies that have not had to deal with laser technology before - neither as vendors nor as users. Novices to the laser world are able to learn in a clearly structured format how laser machining processes work, what type of laser is employed for different applications, which areas of industry employ laser technology, how to determine the specific cases where laser processing is a worthwhile option, what services are offered by laser subcontracting firms, and what trends and prospects have been identified for various aspects of laser technology.

It is the ideal way for prospective end-users of laser technology and interested strategy managers to obtain a rapid overview of the subject. The lecture sessions presented by qualified laser professionals are followed by an informal get-together, allowing seminar participants to make direct contact with providers of laser technology systems and beam sources.

There is no faster or more efficient way to gain an introduction to the world of laser technology!
